Dangerous Palmistry
Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
watching whom writing do
Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
any of my names vaunted
is a lure to rival any forked meat
Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
I, too, o'erlooked graceful usurpers
Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
common collars, daily, abjure,
twice, my familiar folly, Virginia,
O Virginia, calm-browed opossum
Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
we neglect artillery kings; the mad are horrid
Virginias, Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
the mad are horrid Virginias still
Virginia, calm-
browed opossum,
awakened
the moon
and, with
all portion
of notes,
stayed the pluck, old cheat,
slowed the oft, loitering like
some longer-lived eye's toy
Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
corpses, perchance, meek me well —
CHRONOS, Virginia, met as a sparkling lisp
Virginia, calm-browed opossum, you, too,
tho craftily, not perchance, meek me well
Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
last night I dreamed I owned
a W. Somerset Maugham novel entitled
"Miss Claverly And The Postmodernists" —
it was a slim black Signet edition with
the inscription, in unknown hand, THIS
MAKES DEPTHY DEEPS FOR ROARING ICE
Virginia, calm-browed opossum, you, too,
may yet make depthy deeps for roaring ice
Virginia, calm-browed opossum, to speech, aye,
to speech the deranged oath — dare I? — aye:
"dangerous palmistry, ah!, dangerous palmistry"

Felino A. Soriano: Two Poems
garden paradigms,
From
stained glass gained
depiction
evaporating
teachings
fingers rubbing callused music from palm of delegation
a turquoise reaction
from angled song
nearing first
from peripheral analogies
spectral systems
spatial emblems
sophistication
Recalling
affirmations
diligent frequencies comprise
linear thoughts well when a best
promise leans toward
affection, and what enunciates becomes
an elongated bouquet of precise hanker and
eventual collaboration of warmth /
silence

Vernon Frazer: Two Poems
Growth Explosions
avocado rhythm burst
invasion sentries passed the encore
floating
to awaken in life boat tunnels
while the gloat returns to surface
fabric turns to social
games to make of cloth and play
forever
a charade
*
nickelodeon dimers cheapen
the worst of it
coming after the spill
declines a rubber noun
no indecent gestures rematched
on entry
or after splayed footage
deepens the untidy recompense
*
module vapors intensify
deflated claims to aching yardage
an apple intuits a deference call
from the garden central mythos
an old bet snakes up in arrears
quadruped bandana whirls
shaking the sonic irreverence
unfurling panoramic division
tempting the girl
to taste the vining
slither of long meat
*
where the roar hurts
the silent say their macabre
prayers under breath
venting
on the worst vegetation crater
left to center
the scored evasion cast
before a first pittance declares its fruition
Reluctantly Resigned
persiflage notations peal
empty
rancor
buttons
freed from symbolic intent
notable lamentations
vent a coded diaphragm
more real
than breathing
a slow
locomotor
transit motion
past their notion to recede
from
terminal vantage
cameras
as their plated lenses sweat
eye grit from landfill rotation
no locust frenzy lost
emerges found
to remind them again
to file turkey drip resolutions
with pendant authorities that cling
to license
where freedoms allow
wilting
a cummerbund sunday
when
macaroons need to thread
their faucet drip insinuations
before the prescient
drip montage deflection
dispels the truant
inclined to detail sorrow
